Baby's weight... 31 weeks

At 27 weeks my baby was in the 51% percentile.

now a month later @ 31 weeks she dropped to the 40th percentile. She weights 3Lbs. 8oz.

Dr. didnt seem too concerned about it but I wonder why she dropped below in percentile when I gained 10 pounds last month!?!

ETA: The reason why weight is so important to me is because my baby has SUA.. the umbilical cord has one artery instead of two which means less nutrition may be going to the baby. I just want her to be in track.

Do you ladies recall how much your baby weighed around 31 weeks? Thanks so much.Chat Icon

At 31 weeks DS was 4.5 pounds- but was measuring 10 days ahead.

ETA: Sonos are NOT that predictable. Every sono I had with DD#1 had her measuring "big". Every one (and I had like 6). She was born 7 pounds, 6 oz- the same weight she was calculated to be at when I was 34 weeks pregnant with her.

Re: Baby's weight... 31 weeks

At almost 30 weeks my baby weighed 3lbs 3oz - they said that was within average.

Chat Icon Don't worry too much - Especially if your Dr isn't concerned at this point.

Re: Baby's weight... 31 weeks

I don't have a weight from 31wks, but at almost 33wks, my Chat Icon was 4lbs10oz and my Chat Icon was 3lbs7oz.
I wouldn't worry so much, as long as the doc feels like everything else looks good Chat Icon

Re: Baby's weight... 31 weeks

at 30 weeks both babies were 3 lbs 8 oz
at 32 weeks, Baby A was 4 lbs 6 oz and Baby B (SUA) was 4 lbs 2 oz.

Just keep in mind the results can vary based on the technician and position of the baby. Chat Icon

At 33 weeks, Chat Icon weighed 4 lbs 7 ounces. Don't know if that helps

Re: Baby's weight... 31 weeks

If the dr isn't too concerned I wouldn't be. I had the same thing with the umbilical cord with my older DD. She is 9 now and everything turned out fine. Yes, she was born at 5 lbs 14 oz. at 38 weeks ( my other DD was 7 lb 14 oz at 39 1/2 weeks). But she was perfectly healthy. They will send you(if they are not already) for the weekly BPP and growth sono's which you get a score every time out of 8. They're checking for how well your LO is developing, I would be more concerned with the score than where your LO is on the chart. The sono's are not 100% accurate with weight and can be off by a pound either way.

If you have any questions feel free to FM me.
